Smart said he was "feeling good" after taking part in practice with the squad Sunday, and the team upgraded him to questionable for Game 4. He was initially expected to miss four to six weeks, encompassing the first two rounds of any Celtics' playoff run.

The Bucks, who own the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, entered the series as the favorites, so it won't be shocking if they take down the Celtics to pull one step closer to the NBA Finals. He shot 42.2 percent from the field, 36.4 percent from beyond the arc and 80.6 percent from the free-throw line.

But over the last two games of the series, Antetokounmpo is 15-for-28 from the floor as Khris Middleton has put up at least 20 points in both contests.

After sweeping Boston in the first round and almost blowing out the Bucks in Game 1, the Celtics have dropped two straight games and face what may very well be a do-or-die game in Game 4, with a 3-1 series deficit almost impossible to overcome against a team as talented as Milwaukee.

But saying the Celtics won't win another game and will go out in five games?

Needless to say, Barkley's comment didn't exactly play well in the Twitter-sphere.
